Greetings, LBA Family!
As we head into the final weeks of school, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the impact our teachers have made this year. With Teacher Appreciation Week approaching (May 5-9), we invite you to team up with your child(ren) to write a thank-you note or share a kind message for their teacher. A few heartfelt words can mean the world and remind our educators just how valued they are!
I also wanted to celebrate the hard work of our kids and teachers by sharing some recent data. Each grade took a district benchmark assessment at the end of 3rd quarter. LBA's scores increased by 10 percentage points from 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter. Overall (K-5), we were also 8 percentage points higher than the Sioux Falls School District average! 2nd Grade scored 38 percentage points higher on one of their standards, & 4th Grade had 100% of students proficient on one of their standards! Way to go, LBA Bees!
